Timezone shift in bootcamp
01 year ago

Another short one , each time i open my bootcamp or VM (parallels or fusions) i get different timezone for windows and osx.
both are configured correctly connected to the internet and updated from ntp server.
But the windows machine is persistently offsets by two hours. After some hunting around and some trial and error I found that the best and quickest solution is adding a new registry key to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation\ named RealTimeIsUniversal typed REG_DWORD and set it’svalue to 1
you can also patch your registry by downloading bootcamp clock registry update and running it on your windows machine.
Battling with Mac & PC in a local network

That’s a short one , I was banging my head for the last few months with a problem @ my home network.
I have a few computers all of which are connected via a router and all see each other perfectly and can be accessed via IP or computer name.
All except one PC and Mac which refused to see each other by computer name but could be accessed by IP. But today I finally managed, after comparing the installed software on two PC’s I decided to try and uninstall Bonjour services from my PC to see if it impairs the connection , and luckily it did.
So if it happens to you remove Bonjour services from PC
